Ever used a DR Power Field and Brush Mower?

“Man’s mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not. His body is given to him, its sustenance is not. His mind is given to him, its content is not. To remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. He cannot obtain his food without a knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. He cannot dig a ditch-or build a cyclotron-without a knowledge of his aim and of the means to achieve it. To remain alive, he must think." John Galt (Ayn Rand)

Patents are not evil, profit is not a dirty word, providing for your family's future is not a sin, and what is mine is not your's just because you want it. Kellory.I have received NO secret government orders.(Watch for this notice to be removed)

We've had one of the 16hp models for 12+ years now. It gets used, on average, once per month. We have Chinese Privet that grows like the OP's blackberries and the mower does a good job of keeping it down.

I bought the finish mower attachment but have only attempted it once. My knees and lower back aren't what they used to be and getting down on the concrete to pull the belt over the drive pulley just isn't worth the difference between a 42" deck and my 22" self propelled mower.

Mine has the 2 cylinder Kawasaki engine in it (as does my JD lawn tractor). I'm pleased with the engine. Change the oil and filter, air filter and sharpen the blade. Neither machine has required any service other than that.

In regard to using the Brush Mower, the blade deck runs on two 1/2" steel rods. You balance the front when traveling on concrete and when backing up. It is quite the upper body work out and you have to keep your hands gripping the controls or the "dead man" will shut it off. This is not a one handed machine.

My thought is to have some one come in with a real Tractor and Bush Hog. Cut it down and then purchase a new Cub Cadet or other with a 48 inch deck or better and just mow it down once a month. New Cub Cadet with twin Kohler of a new design is $2300 here and saves the back.
